The qualitative targets identified in connection with the Group’s strategy and reflecting the short-term achievement of the quantitative target were considered as 100% achieved for the first three of these targets and 60% achieved for the fourth.

€312,930 At its meeting of 24 February 2017, the Board of Directors decided to put in place a long-term incentive plan for the Group’s senior managers relating to performance over three years. It granted 3,000 rights (0.01% of the share capital) to Vincent Paris, out of a total of 104,000 rights covered by this plan.

Strict performance conditions will be measured over three financial years (the year of allotment and the two following years) against targets for organic consolidated revenue growth, operating profit on business activity (expressed as a percentage of revenue) and free cash flow. These targets are at least equal to any guidance disclosed to the market. The Board of Directors also decided that Vincent Paris must retain at least 50% of vested shares allocated to him under this plan throughout his entire term of office as Chief Executive Officer.
